Raed Arafat revealed today in a press conference what almost everyone already knew, namely the fact that there is a significant increase in the number of new cases of Coronavirus during this period, the Omicron variant being the basis of this increase.
Raed Arafat also talks about the fact that there is a very large number of unvaccinated people who lose their lives due to infection, 90% of those who die at ATI being unvaccinated people, so the percentage is extremely high.
"So, at this moment, between January 6 and 13, we can talk about a significant increase - on January 6, we had 6.018 cases, now, on January 13, we are at 9.785 cases. That shows how fast the growth is right now.
But, in intensive care, we went from 400 patients in intensive care on January 6, to 13 on January 441. But I want to emphasize that in the last 24 hours, 24 patients were admitted to intensive care. It is an important number, so 24 intensive care patients admitted in the last 24 hours, which is a much higher number than the ones we had in the last few days, where there were increases of 1-2, we also had 10, but now even 24 cases.
We will see in the next few days what the evolution will be, and here we return to what Dr. Gheorghiță also said, that in vulnerable people, even if it is the Omicron variant, it is possible to have an impact on them and it is possible to end up in intensive therapy. R
evin and the analyzes made by the INSP and world statistics, which demonstrate that unvaccinated people are the ones who are most vulnerable to end up in intensive care, and the mortality is about 90% in unvaccinated people who are in intensive care. 10% remain vaccinated persons with comorbidities and others.
That is to say, 90% of those who die in intensive care, to be fair, 90% of people who die in intensive care are unvaccinated people, 10% are vaccinated people, most of them with comorbidities."
